Description
An Edwardian mahogany envelope games table, dating to the early 20th century.

The top rotates to allow the flaps to open, revealing a playing surface lined with green baize and featuring four circular recessed counter wells. The frieze is fitted with a single drawer, also displaying fine marquetry work and two brass knob pulls. The piece is raised on four square-tapered legs with conforming inlay, united by an X-form stretcher with a centre inlaid platform. The construction features period-appropriate brass hinges and joinery. No maker’s marks or labels are present. H 75cm x W 55cm x D 55cm.
